Kālidāsa was a Classical Sanskrit writer,
widely regarded as the greatest poet and dramatist in the Sanskrit
language. And Meghadutam, a poem of 111 stanzas, is one of
his most famous works.

Meghadutam tells the tale of a man who has been exiled
for neglecting his duties. Thus, separated from his beloved wife,
he longs to send her word of his undying love and the pain he
suffers over their parting. Unable to do so himself, the man
implores a passing cloud to act as his messenger. The cloud travels
a long distance to reach the Himalayas, where the man's wife waits
for his love.

A organic celebration of love through poetry music and dance the
play Meghadutam will be performed by Raju Bera and Prasad
Cherkady.
